RE: The INCESSANT RAMSEY AD BLITZ
on 710-KCMO AM RADIO
*
Every hour 24/7 on 710-AM radio we hear
"EH FOLKS DAVE HERE ! "
Usually MANY TIMES PER HOUR !
"EH KANSAS CITY DAVE HERE"
*
This AM was the perfect example of
Ramsey's IGNORANCE,
He's NOT a FINANCIAL ADVISOR !
=============================
At 8:45 AM, (check your on-air record)
this AM, it's time for "THE RAMSEY FINANCIAL MINUTE" of NO HELP
WHATSOEVER !
The caller, a small biz owner, asks for tax shelter advice.
Ramsey hems & haws around,
---> "Well, you could get a little 401K or a Roth, but that wouldn't
help with taxes. There isn't much out there for small businesses."<---
Is this the HUGE EGOTIST DAVE RAMSEY, FINANCIAL EXPERT, WHO IS SO FAR
ABOVE US THAT HE CONSIDERS US TO BE
intellectual "BABIES" ?
Condescendingly, he tells us to
"take the BABY STEPS" he recommends.
*
EH FOLKS ! DAVE RAMSEY HERE !
EH KANSAS CITY...DAVE HERE !
EH...DAVE HERE !
*
S T O P THIS DAMNED AD BLITZ
OF the hypocrite Ramsey w/extra AD bytes where he damns GOLD as an
investment, then,
Here comes "EH DAVE HERE FOR MY FRIENDS..." who buy your gold !
*
His SOLE claim to financial expertise is HIS PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY !
That's insane !
============
Would you want advice from a doctor who's made the MOST MISTAKES ?
*
A N Y O N E with common sense can tell
people to PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS &
BUDGET YOUR INCOME.
Ramsey is NO EXPERT !
*
Anyone who stuffs money in his pocket for a radio AD is his
"FRIEND" ? Prostitution ? Cash is king, HUH ?
Warren Buffet doesn't THINK SO !
*
Again, he says buying gold is STUPID, YET "HIS FRIENDS" who pay
him to do ADs for them are in the GOLD BUYING BIZ.
ARE HIS "FRIENDS" S T U P I D ???
============================
*
*
We can't listen to 710 any more at work
due to your B L I T Z of
OBNOXIOUS RAMSEY ADs !
*
GET these ADs
OFF OF THE AIR NOW !
====================
*
I write this on behalf of the millions of FORMER 710am LISTENERS in
Kansas City + myself.

Mr. Kerr, just TRY to listen to 710AM.
Tell me you're not annoyed.
I listened to him a few times on FBN and kept getting the feeling I was listening to a hustler..I know many people have used his principles to get out of debt etc. but I don’t trust him one bit.
At one time The Jaguar Dealer was running ads on the DR Show in Jackson MS. Just what every broke person needs a preowned Jag.
That didn’t make any sense
That made no sense whatsoever.
Every so often this anti Ramsey commentary pops up here. Here is a simple point: if you don’t believe in his advice, don’t listen. His advice seems to follow a few basic themes:
Don’t borrow, don’t get involved in addictive behavior, don’t live for today and not worry about tomorrow. Sounds like sound advice to me.
Do I buy his materials, no. Do I promote his stuff, no. Do I follow all his advice, no, not all. His theme is kind of moralistic, which is not evil. One point I don’t follow is the advice to not charge anything, even if one is paying off the cards each month, assuming they will get some benefit like a cash return. That is what I do.
So, I listen to his show for the entertainment value which is what it is, it is a talk show. I don’t plan on paying to attend an event, I hate going to the circus.
Dave forgets to tell people after 5 years of rice and beans to become debt free, you have another 5 years of rice and beans to gain any wealth. Can’t stand his silly laugh.
I have heard him on the radio a few times and I am always surprised how cocky and rude he is to some of the callers. He reminds of Laura Schlessinger, blunt to the point of rudeness, but with some good advice.
He says right up front several times during his show that he’s not a financial advisor or lawyer and that anyone seeking that kind of advice should get with a professional. You don’t have to agree with everything he says but he does have some really good common sense advice.
All radio personalities are tryin’ to sell something... Ya, I get a little annoyed when someone like DR rails against buying gold then does an ad for a gold buy-back company. Hmmm, he discourages little folks from buying gold, then encourages them to sell what they have of it... hmm, little guy, no gold: more gold for big guy... kinda like screaming fire in a crowded theatre, then setting up a fire extinguisher stand outside.
7/10 on the rant. Could’ve used some expletives and was a little disjointed in the physical layout, but the overall content was good.
I’ve watched his show. He dares to speak the ugly truth about people being financially irresponsible and that only they have the power to get their lives back on track. He talks of self-sacrifice and hard work. He himself has done it. I’ve never heard him do high pressure sales to get people to buy his Financial Peace materials. I’ve heard him give the course to people on the cuff.
Let’s see, you don’t make much money but you have a new car, a flat screen tv, a cell phone, itunes, and eat out every night. Yeah, there’s no need to change your behavior. It must be Bush’s fault you’re broke.
Makes sense to me.
Millions of listeners in Kansas City? That’s pretty good.
While Ramsey may be wrong, the author of the website is probably not “all there”, either.
He writes that he thinks the idea of “Nudge” (the Cass Sunstein book) sounds like a good idea, and that he actually bought the book and intends to read it soon.
Your liberal use of capital letters and incoherent sentence fragments has convinced me of the rightness of your cause.
Dave Ramsey has a strong track record of helping people with financial problems. While one — and I myself — might disagree with him and some of his advice, I think the vehemence with which one criticizes him demonstrates more of a problem with ones own attitude than a problem with Dave’s advice.
“Fakeover”? “ignorant Ramsey”? “Egotist”? Yeah — take a breath! Ease up! Go to the mountains, relax, enjoy the scenary, rest...
my advice: don’t spend more than one makes... has served me well for 45+ years.
What a bunch of gobbly gook. Is this supposed to make any sort of sense?
